I have a problem with modules not seeming to load. I have read the documentation I can
find
but have only succeeded in confusing myself. my understanding so far: kerneld takes
care of the loading of modules as needed by the kernel. kerneld should not be used with
kernel versions higher than 2.2, kmod is instead. What is kmod? It doesn't
appear to be on my system (rh6.0, kernel 2.2.16, modutils 2.3.10).
My /etc/modules.conf looks like this:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias sound es1371
as, I think, it should (I don't know if I need to define paths in this, though).
there is no depmod, insmod, modprobe. . .in any of my boot-scripts, and running these
programs after boot does not load, say, ppp support.
here is an excerpt from my logwatch messages to root:

I'm sure this is something quite simple,
but I'm not sure where to start.
